Lots of sewing last week! Yipee!!!

I got a lot of sewing done last week!!  Here's are some of the things I worked on...
I made this top while on retreat at Sunriver with Lori and Randy.  I finished quilting this one this past week.  A real Almost finished quilt!!! tee hee
 I started these blocks while at Sunriver.  Most of the fabrics came from a fat 8th's bundle. I thought that since They came as a bundle I would not have to work to hard on the color scheme.  But I wasn't thinking about value so much?!  There is actually a pattern there!!! (Double Irish Chain) But it's pretty hard to see.  Well, it's soft and sweet and it will make a nice charitable quilt....
Randy gave me several bags of scraps and fabric to take to our local Guild to donate to the Flea market.  Which Of Course means I get to glean from said bags.  Randy donates the Best stuff ever!  I found this tree block and 6- 9 patches and a whole bunch of cool forest themed scraps and that was the genesis for this quilt top.  I will be donateing this to a patient at the City of Hope Cancer treatment center.  

I finished this top which was made from the rest of the plaids I used in an earlier project. view here http://cspoonquilt.blogspot.com/2013/01/dark-or-light-borders.html   The bars are a little wonky but these plaids are so loosely wolven I decided not to trim them.
I hope maybe I'll get a few more of these tops quilted this week.
I have several mornings free this week (my best time for sewing).  Do you have a favorite time of day to sew?  
Happy sewing! CW

  3. Way to go Claire. They are all fun quilts! I'd prefer to sew in the morning, but have time between late afternoon and dinner to get a little quality sewing time in.
